Yes, if I read a Table of Contents; $ tar ztvf 5_axis_kinematics_XYZAC.tar.gz then extract one file: $ tar zxvf 5_axis_kinematics_XYZAC.tar.gz XYZAC/README there is no failure due to naming conflict. README is extracted without problems. > hth It does. Thank you. Now to repeat for the other 9 files. The following seems to do it (On the command line, since something so simple isn't worth putting in a script): # This just shortens the next lines, so they won't wrap in the email. $ archive=5_axis_kinematics_XYZAC.tar.gz # "NR > 1" skips the symlink, which isn't to be copied. $ files=`tar ztvf $archive | gawk 'NR > 1 {print $NF}'` # Now we finally extract 'em all individually, by name. $ for i in $files ; do tar zxvf $archive $i ; done I still had the symlink, so the files ended up in ../emc2/configs/XYZAC/ If no previous extraction attempt had been made, they'd be in XYZAC/ in the current directory. I'm off to the farm for a week tomorrow, so won't have much time to read and learn. Lacking the means to try out XYZAC/XYZACkins.c, it'll even then not be easy to offer much useful feedback. Thanks to Rudy for doing the kinematics for a machine that I've for some time thought would be a lot of fun to build.
